Audacity Capital joined FIA Asia for industry representation

DUBAI, UAE - 12/8/2015 (PRESS RELEASE JET) -- Audacity Capital, the Dubai based proprietary trading firm announced it became a member of FIA Asia, the leading futures industry association representing the interests of financial market firms in the Asian and Middle East regions. FIA Asia is part of FIA (Futures Industry Association), thought leader, advocate and educator for centrally cleared derivatives. Its mission, amongst others, is to protect the public interest through adherence to high standards of professional conduct and financial integrity. The world’s largest financial organizations are members of one or more of the FIA bodies. Smaller firms in the proprietary trading sector tend to be reluctant to join as they have no client focus in their business operations and have a strong benefit to only to incur costs if there is a direct business benefit. Audacity chose to join FIA Asia as Audacity believes that a modern proprietary trading firm should not just invest in themselves but also in the market as a whole.

Marco Duquette, Co-founder of Audacity Capital stated: “The financial industry as a whole and proprietary trading in particular operate in a complex and sometimes reclusive environment. We believe that transparency and dialogue are essential in building a better market and restoring faith in the financial industry as a whole. Industry associations play a pivotal role there. We believe that Audacity should be an active part of that dialogue”. Harold Duineveld, MD at Audacity Capital weighed in on the benefits for Audacity: “FIA Asia is a great source of information and network opportunity in addition to their representation activities. This will provide us with strategic insight in market development, essential to our corporate strategy and provide us a platform to interact with industry peers and service providers, enabling us to find more counterparts to trade with and services to choose from.”
